Posted on December 12, 2006 by Breeann Kyte Kirby • 1 Comment

So my landlords, as a consolation for being out of hearth and home, have given us a mass of avocados.

I sit amidst the wreckage of the aftermath of an impromptu cocktail/dinner party with some of my girlfriends from college. We all lead very busy lives: one of us is in law school, another is a nurse, another is a school counselor, yet another has her MBA and teaches English with me at the university … Continue reading →
